Forced entanglement with my boss

Amelia's pov

My thin silhouette stood at the entrance of the company admiring the sight in front of me. I still can't believe that I am able to achieve my long time dream of working here.

The smiths group is not only known as the highest paying company in the city, they are also known for taking good care of their workers and here I am about to resume as the CEO's secretary.

I arranged my black pencil skirt which was paired with a neat white blazer and red stiletto heels then made my way to the elevator.

My palms were sweaty as I suddenly got nervous because the media has rumored the CEO as being cold and ruthless .

By the time we got to the last floor, which is where the CEO's office is situated, there were only three of us remaining in the elevator and we all made our way out of the elevator without sparing each other a glance.

I headed to the CEO's office which was pointed to me during the interview. Even though I was recommended by my college as the best man of the year,I was still made to pass through necessary procedures before I got recruited .

I haven't met the CEO before, he was on a trip when I came for the interview but I met his personal assistant who showed me around the company after they conducted a successful interview for me.

I paused to admire the beautiful aesthetic. In Front of the CEO'S office, the office exterior was made of translucent glass which looks so delicate like it will break if you touch it. Not wanting to waste more time,I pressed the notification bell and a voice came from inside.

" Come in," the husky deep voice that can take anyone's breath away came from the office and I carefully pushed the door before I entered fully.

" How may I help you," he questioned coldly, not taking his eyes off the laptop. I was short of response because of the cold aura emanating from his body.

" Can't you introduce yourself or Are you here to stand there?" He took his eyes off his computer and looked at me briefly.

" Hello sir, I am Amelia and I am your new secretary," I managed to introduce myself as his cold gaze pierced into my soul and my heart skipped a bit.

" The one they just hired? And you are already making me repeat myself, I hope you last here,'' he shifted his gaze and continued to work on his laptop. I probably forgot to mention that his secretaries don't last long.

He swerved his chair a bit to the right where the intercom was. " Tell Roy to get in here," he commanded and dropped the phone.

A knock came on almost immediately and his personal assistant entered.

" You requested for me sir," the man who I suppose is Roy entered.

" Is the new secretary's office ready?"

" No sir, I didn't know that she was going to be resuming work early," Roy answered with an apologetic bow.

" Seems like you are tired of your job, I give you 30 minutes to make necessary preparations. Settle down on the couch before they finish with the arrangement," he said to me after condemning his personal assistant's non challant act.

I settled on the couch that I didn't notice was there because of nervousness. Now that I am less tense, I used the opportunity to admire the interior of the office.

He has a great taste I must say. The office is painted in white color that is well maintained and it's touched up with gold which added a hint of elegance to the office. Infact, everything in the office screams richness.

Before I knew it, thirty minutes had passed and the personal assistant was done with all the necessary arrangements.

We both made our way out of the office and he guided me to where my office space was among my other colleagues.

" Hello everyone this is Amelia, she is the CEO's new secretary and she will be working here with you. Please welcome her and treat her well," Roy encouraged, then faced me to give me some instructions.

" So this is your office, this is your official laptop where you will read and answer mails, the instructions to follow are on this ipad. Make sure you read and digest them before tomorrow ," He instructed carefully then passed me a brand new silver apple laptop and iPad.

" The CEO will contact you through the intercom when he needs you," he added then exited the office.

I thanked him fervently then arranged my stuff on my table. The office is located right across the CEO's office, the CEO can see the activities going on outside but workers can't see what is going on inside the CEO's office.

I was done with arranging my stuff in a flash then I settled down to read the instructions.

" You must make a coffee for the CEO every morning," the first one read and I quote.

" The CEO doesn't take milk because he is lactose intolerant therefore milk shouldn't be added to his coffee," I read the second line and I scoffed. This man is too principled but nevertheless I continued to digest the instructions.

I was still going through the long list of dos and don'ts when a pretty woman with a short bob entered.

" Seems like we have a new employee here," she said to me cheerfully.

" Hello, I am Linda and I am the head of office here. I was out on a visit when you arrived so I haven't done a proper introduction... if you need or you have any question please let me know," she concluded and went to her seat.

I didn't notice an empty space before her arrival but now that I took a quick glance around, I noticed that we are six in this space and everyone was doing a good job at minding their business. I was still trying to figure out more things that I didn't notice before when the intercom on my table rang.

" Hello, come to my office now!" The call hung up before I could even answer. What the hell!
